" ... The hand feel is exceptional, the 3 speeds are perfect for face and neck, battery life is awesome, cleaning is a breeze with the solution dip stand. ... "
" ... I like that the holder, charger and cleaner are all one easy to use unit. ... "
" ... I read the directions and set up the cleaning station. ... After use I cleaned as directed and stuck it in the cleaning station and everything worked as described. ... "
" ... Smart clean unit never worked. ... "
" ... The biggest plus is the self-cleaning function. ... I used to hate cleaning the hair out of my shaver, problem solved! ... "
" ... The Wahl shaver for $100 that I had did a better job and was much easier to clean and use. ... "
" ... We don’t know about cleaning or battery life yet, just that it works great! ... "
" ... Pleasure to hold and it sits in the cleaning station well and aesthetically pleasing. ... Braun S9 cleaning station is by far better design. ... Seriously Andies, give it a cleaning/charging station like braun has, upgrade its body to metal and charge me $300 for it. ... "

" ... I use this daily for trimming & shaving purposes, & it is by far the best of the models that I have used before. ... "
" ... Gave this to my husband to replace an older model of a Norelco razor - HE LOVES it! ... "
" ... You can just pass again with those razors but then you might cut your face or cause ingrown hairs by repeatedly passing with a normal razor. ... "
" ... By far the most powerful and sturdy of the three razors. ... I bought it because it is a rotary and i figured it will pick up curly hair on the neck easier than foil. ... Its small 2 foil head feels more ergonomic on the face than either of the other two razors. ... "
" ... HINT: Brush out hair from head and blades before using the SmartClean. ... "
" ... I had about 1 week plus of beard growth going. ... "
" ... Having an older model razor, I can’t help but compare between the two razors. ... I do occasionally use the trimmer attachment, but I do miss that on my old razor, it was built into the razor, making it more convenient. ... "
" ... I really liked my new shaver a good close cut. ... "

" ... The razor charged quickly, from 10 percent to full in less than an hour. ... The stand doubles as a charger, with the stand beeping when connected and a red symbol flashing to indicate it is charging and lit when charged. ... "

" ... Mine arrived without the cord for the charging station (larger pins). ... The shaver cord won't plug into it because the shaver pins are about a half millimeter in diameter. ... while the charging station has 1½ mm pins, so the female connector on the cord has no chance of connecting. ... Apparently, there is supposed to be a 2nd power cord, but it wasn't in the box. ... "
